Syros Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SYRS), a biopharmaceutical company committed to advancing new standards of care for the frontline treatment of hematologic malignancies, today announced that it will host a webcast event with medical experts to discuss the unmet need in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) and the opportunity for tamibarotene to transform the care of newly diagnosed patients with RARA gene overexpression. The event will take place on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET.

Syros is currently evaluating tamibarotene in SELECT-MDS-1, a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in HR-MDS patients with RARA overexpression, and in SELECT-AML-1, a Phase 2 clinical trial in unfit acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with RARA overexpression. Syros expects to report pivotal complete response data from the SELECT-MDS-1 trial by the middle of the fourth quarter of 2024 and will report clinical activity and tolerability data from a prespecified analysis of over 40 patients from the SELECT-AML-1 trial in the third quarter of 2024.

The webcast event will feature presentations from Amy DeZern, M.D., M.H.S., Professor of Oncology and Medicine, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Amer Zeidan, M.B.B.S., M.H.S., Chief, Hematologic Malignancies, Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital; Associate Professor of Medicine (Hematology), Yale School of Medicine and David Sallman, M.D., Myeloid Section Head and Associate Member, Department of Malignant Hematology, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. The speakers will provide a disease overview of HR-MDS, including current therapies and approach to patient management, evaluation of patient outcomes in HR-MDS trials, and the emerging treatment landscape and ongoing areas of unmet need. In addition, members of Syros’ leadership team will provide an overview of RARA overexpression and tamibarotene’s mechanism of action, review the design of the pivotal SELECT-MDS-1 Phase 3 trial, and discuss previously presented clinical data supporting the development of tamibarotene for HR-MDS and the potential commercial opportunity.
